Kind-hearted people raising funds for project in Zimbabwe

The Community of the Resurrection (CR) is hoping to bring in money to support a schools’ gardening project in the Masvingo diocese via a number of challenging activities.

The Zimbabwe project will create vegetable gardens at four schools, enabling them to grow their own produce.

Fr Antony Grant was the first to take a challenge – he committed to walking 20 miles in 25 days.

Chris Townsend, who is currently a long-term guest at CR, has also tackled the fundraising challenge.

He completed a 200km feat to raise money for the project and other students are embarking on various challenges over the next few weeks.

A spokesman said: “Brethren, students and friends of CR will be undertaking various sponsored challenges to raise money for this project.”

Anyone who would like to support the fundraising effort can go to the mirfield.org.uk/cr-miles-for-masvingo website or visit the cafdonate.cafonline.org/14579 link to donate funds.
